It is late in the afternoon and I am sitting on the porch. A plane flies over the moon, thus joining the cow in achieving the impossible.

Only for a moment is the plane in sight.In this moment, is a passenger looking down and wondering if someone on a porch is looking up, or is the passenger lost in an on-flight movie, oblivious to a world of fields and woods and small towns far below, a flyover world where allegedly nothing ever happens, and the seasons turn to the tune of marching bands, historical reenactments, and lots of speeches, not to mention the crowning of kings and queens?Quicker than dreams, the scene fades from active memory. It would be lost forever if not for a shining image "preserved" on a glass screen.springhousemagazine.com
